Double cleansing is a little Korean skincare secret that is taking the world by storm. I know you might be wondering how you’ll find time to double wash your face when sometimes getting it done once is more than you can handle. I’m suggesting giving it a try a couple of times and once you see the results, you’ll easily make the time for the double cleanse method. Here’s how to get from beginning to end in no time.

1. Remove Your Makeup First

Your first step to double cleansing is to get rid of all the makeup that’s currently on your face. You can use any kind of makeup remover that works best for you. Whether it’s wipes or a liquid remover, gently wipe off all of the makeup that you have on, including mascara, foundation, eyeshadow and blush.

2. Now You’re Going to Use an Oil Cleanser

This type of cleanser if formulated to remove excess skin oil, sunscreen, makeup and environmental toxins from your pores. You don’t need water with your oil cleanser. Simply scoop it into your hand and gently massage it over your entire face, jawline and neck. It should start to emulsify when it’s doing its job.

3. Rinse the Oil Cleanser Well

Once you have the emulsified oil cleanser hanging out on your face, use warm water to rinse it off. You want to make sure you remove all the visible residue and you shouldn’t feel like your skin is greasy. Warm water will do a better job of this, but don’t go too hot or you suck the beneficial moisture from your facial skin.

4. Now Use a Foaming Cleanser

This is where the double wash term came about. This type of cleanser is formulated to whisk away sweat and residual product from your face. Gently massage the product in a circular motion all over your face to get the absolute cleanest face possible.

5. Rinse Again with Warm Water

Using the same rinsing technique as in Step #3, remove the foaming cleanser from your face using warm water. Make sure you avoid your eye area or you’ll have a stinging set of peepers that will not feel good. Use your hands or a soft washcloth to get the job done.

6. Repeat Your Double Cleansing Routine Morning and Night

Double cleansing is something you can do every morning and every night. Washing your face at night helps remove a day’s worth of products and junk you pick up as you go about the day. Washing in the morning prepares your face for your makeup look and gives you a clean slate for your morning products to penetrate. Easy enough, right?

Double cleansing also ensures that any traces of makeup, sunscreen, and environmental pollutants are thoroughly removed, reducing the risk of clogged pores and breakouts. In the morning, this routine prepares your skin to absorb the active ingredients in your serums and moisturizers more effectively. At night, double cleansing allows your skin to breathe and rejuvenate as you sleep. By maintaining this consistent regimen, you’ll promote a healthier complexion over time. So whether you’re gearing up for a busy day or winding down at night, don’t skip this essential step in your skincare routine.

7. Follow up Your Cleansing with the Right Moisturizer

The best time to apply moisturizer is when your skin is damp because it creates the right environment for your product to soak in. Once you complete both steps of the washing process, gently massage in your night or day cream of choice. Choose one that matches your skin type for the best results. Make sure you get the cream all over to ensure that you are getting the most out of each of the ingredients it contains.

I want to try! Do these products come as a pack? What should I look for??

Yeah of course, it remove impurities. It's so good for your skin. The way they say it works is the first step remove makeup and natural oils on the skin and the second actually cleans the skin. Does that make sense?

Best technique, looks better, lasts longer and more natural ..

@AlbaAjazaj thank you SO much for the answer

Can i also do the double cleansing if I don't use makeup?

Hmm okay. I will need to get some foaming cleanser ASAP! Thanks ladies!

It's better if you were makeup since you know it's removed. If you have something that works for you, you don't need to double cleanse. It just depends on what your skin likes.

The best type of cleansers don't come as a pack usually. Usually, Asian skincare products are better for making oil cleansers

I cleanse first with pure organic coconut oil, then with a foaming cleanser. Makes my skin feel so much cleaner

Innisfree has some lovely oil and foaming cleansers. Boscia's makeup break cool cleansing oil is my favourite at the moment though but needs a good cleanser after since it can leave a residue
